Mac Forum / Programming / Mac Programming / May 2007there has to be a better way than this
currently, i have -1 set as meaning "no link" and 0 on up as meaning the record number (NSMutableArray objectAtIndex) of something. i currently check for it like this. if (ourDataRecord > -1) there HAS to be a better way to check for non negative numbers. i was considering using if (!(ourDataRecord < 0)) but it seems like it would simply increase the cpu load by adding a possible negate into the object code. i was thinking of if (ourDataRecord) but that seems like any negative number would reflect a false positive and a zero would reflect a false negative Santa Claus: > currently, i have -1 set as meaning "no link" and 0 on up as meaning the > record number (NSMutableArray objectAtIndex) of something.

No.  SignatureJens Ayton > currently, i have -1 set as meaning "no link" and 0 on up as meaning the > record number (NSMutableArray objectAtIndex) of something. If you're dealing with NSArray indices (which you may note are unsigned), there's a predefined constant already available to you: NSNotFound. > i currently check for it like this. > if (ourDataRecord > -1) [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > but it seems like it would simply increase the cpu load by adding a > possible negate into the object code. You're overthinking. Don't make assumptions about what the compiler is going to emit. > i was thinking of > if (ourDataRecord) > but that seems like any negative number would reflect a false positive > and a zero would reflect a false negative Your suspicion is correct. Make your "invalid index" value NSNotFound and then test for (in)equality to decide whether or not there's an entry to retrieve. (This, by the way, also looks like you're headed into the area of premature optimization. What are you trying to accomplish?) > > currently, i have -1 set as meaning "no link" and 0 on up as meaning the > > record number (NSMutableArray objectAtIndex) of something. [quoted text clipped - 28 lines] > (This, by the way, also looks like you're headed into the area of > premature optimization. What are you trying to accomplish?) i don't know about premature optimization but i like to make things take the least amount of time possible. i have a total of 11 cardinal directions (the standard 8 plus up, down, and out) and if something doesn't have an exit that direction, i put in a -1 for it. i was just looking for a better way to test for the -1 and i think the NSNotFound way may be much better as it would also reflect that the exit is not found. but... that wouldn't make it valid for existing databases so i guess i'll just make a constant that equals -1 and call it something not found. it's a little late to be giving names to constants tonight. NSNotFound is NSNotFound = 0x7fffffff (maxint) in NSObjCRuntime.h. if it was ffffffff then it'd be compatable. >> (This, by the way, also looks like you're headed into the area of >> premature optimization.

It may be unintuitive, but always making sure things take the least amount of time possible is a poor way to make your code run fast. Programmer time is a limited resource. This is equally true whether you're working on a hobby project or running a team of hundreds working for a giant corporation. Code has hotspots. This is a universal truth. The 90/10 rule always wins; 90% of your execution time is spent in 10% of your code. Often it's more like 95/5 or 99/1. By trying to make all of your code fast, you waste most of your effort on the 90% of the code that makes no difference anyway. By writing your code with an eye towards clarity and correctness, then coming back later, analyzing it, finding the critical 10% (or 5% or 1%) and putting your limited resources into making that code fast, the final result is faster. Note: this is not just something that programmers who don't care about speed say to justify being lazy. This is how you write fast code. Trying to make all of your code fast just makes all of your code buggy and doesn't make it go any faster. Credentialitis: I wrote my master's thesis on high performance computing, including a big section on optimization techniques. I also wrote what is probably the fastest Game of Life screensaver available on the Mac. I doubt that most people who try to make all of their code run fast will be able to get even 10% of my performance... at least on computers with hefty video cards. Speaking of Life, try to get within one millionth the long-term performance of http://golly.sourceforge.net/ using a "make everything fast" approach. In programming, work smarter, not harder.

Premature optimization is the root of all evil (or at least most of it) in programming" And Bill Harlan: "It is easier to optimize correct code than to correct optimized code."

Obviously you don't need 188k of program to do this, as proven by the fact that entire working OSes fit on disks smaller than that. However, it's a lot easier to write the big one than it is to write the small one. > my mindset is still in the old 8-bit mode that you > needed to conserve every bit of memory and cpu clock cycle as possible > but i'm seeing now that with my complex programs and interconnected > things, that won't work real well. Exactly. It can be a hard thing to unlearn. I still catch myself thinking about the per-cycle cost of operations, before realizing that this code will run exactly one time and the difference in speed is 100 nanoseconds versus 500 nanoseconds. > but i still say if you're going through several objects just to get what > you want and need to access (read) it more than once, extract it to a [quoted text clipped - 21 lines] > { > hadErrorInRoomData = YES; The primary purpose of your code should be correctness, followed closely by clarity. (The two often go together, which is helpful.) Because of this, I would vote for the last one just because it's vastly easier to understand than the first two. I can glance at the last one and instantly see what it's doing. The first two are confusing and weird. Remember that programmer time is the most expensive part of your program's operation, even when it's free, and that you waste a lot of time if you write unclear code, either because it's hard to fix, or because you have to take a lot of time to understand it when you come back to it later. SignatureMichael Ash Rogue Amoeba Software > you know, that COULD be the vast majority of my problems since i'm of > the mind that you shouldn't NEED 188k of program just to print "hello" > to the screen. Happily, you don't. Actually, I vaguely wonder where "188k" came from. It's an odd number to pull out of nowhere, but it has no actual relationship to the size of the program you describe. Amusingly, the (single-architecture) binary of the simplest Cocoa GUI hello world program is over 30% smaller than the simplest C console hello world. > my mindset is still in the old 8-bit mode that you > needed to conserve every bit of memory and cpu clock cycle as possible > but i'm seeing now that with my complex programs and interconnected > things, that won't work real well. No, it won't. Because you're doing things that those 8-bit machines weren't viable tools for in the first place. I deal with single files today that dwarf the hard drive I owned in 1988 and the sum of all storage media I owned in 1985. But even then, significantly optimizing something that wasn't done was a waste of effort.

JUST because computers have more ram and hard drive space, it didn't mean we need to fill it up with useless stuff. ok, enough ranting here... time to get back to the debugger and see if there are more bugs i didn't even know about in my code. i found several of them already and that's just one section of 27 sections. my thanks to ALL of you for pointing out how i can debug my plugin code. out of curiosity, in breaking files apart into smaller ones, what would you guys say is a good rule? NSString.h is obviously one file that pertains to one project and is most likely (it would seem to me) one file as a .c or .m file. this means to me everything to deal with strings are in one file or includes that make up one file once everything is included. that would also suggest to me that my method of breaking files apart into smaller files is in much the same way similar methodology (everything that pertains to a specific subject is in one file). am i missing something important in the concept here? put each method in its own file? i'm trying to make my programs look more like yours (smaller files) but some things are senseless to me AS I UNDERSTAND IT. long, complex routines are bound to break some barrier but those routines cannot be broken down without breaking them. robert dell. > out of curiosity, in breaking files apart into smaller ones, what would > you guys say is a good rule?

Well you have this part down, but I'd say that it's rather useless. One subject per file is good, but not very interesting. The proper question to ask is, how do you determine what a "subject" is? In an object-oriented language such as ObjC, generally you have one class per file. So a class is a subject. Again, not interesting. The big design question is where you draw lines between your classes. I have no special knowledge of Cocoa or access to how it's built, but from what I've seen it's obvious that NSString has several subclasses which are almost certainly implemented in separate files. There's NSString, NSMutableString, NSConstantString, NSCFString, NSBigMutableString, etc. Aside from that, there's also a bunch of "string" classes which aren't actually related no NSString, such as NSAttributedString and all of its friends. All of this stuff goes in separate files. The key concept is not keeping your files small, but keeping your classes small. When you have a single class which is five thousand lines long then it does too much. It just so happens that this means your file is five thousand lines long too, but the key problem is the size of the class. The reason to have small classes is because it makes good design easier. Good design entails small units of code which perform a specific task, with clearly defined interfaces between them. Classes are those small units of code, and the clearly defined interfaces are their public methods. When you have a gigantic class, you tend to end up with pieces of the class doing different things, but with no clearly defined interfaces between them because every piece has access to the whole class. This makes it difficult to make changes because you're not sure what's accessing what, or what conditions are needed dto properly invoke some code, or whatever. > i'm trying to make my programs look more like yours (smaller files) but > some things are senseless to me AS I UNDERSTAND IT. long, complex > routines are bound to break some barrier but those routines cannot be > broken down without breaking them. I'm certain that they can, you just don't realize how. In my own code, if I can't see the entire method in an editor window at one time then I consider it to be too long. Even then I strive for smallness. It's not so much the length of the method as it is the complexity, but the two tend to go hand in hand. Breaking them up into smaller methods is usually easy and helps clarity a lot. If you're lucky you'll suddenly discover that you can reuse one of the smaller pieces too. If you want, pick one of these huge methods and post it, and maybe we can chop it down to size. SignatureMichael Ash Rogue Amoeba Software > If you want, pick one of these huge methods and post it, and maybe we can > chop it down to size. i can't see any way to break THIS down. it's a parser for incoming game text to perform tasks on that text it's not so much complicated, it's just that everything needs to be tested against for every line that comes from the game. the declaration of the routine must be as it's typed or the plugin won't work. ----- clip ----- -(BOOL)processString: (NSString **)theString attributedString: (NSMutableAttributedString **)otherString { [rawStuff appendRawText: *theString];
